Political Parties - Jan 2012

Have you ever wondered why elections never seem to change anything? One explanation is a strategy proposed in 1966 by Professor Carroll Quigley, a progressive: “The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideas and policies… is a foolish idea… Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy… Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.”

Both parties have vigorously pursued spending. Our National debt is over $15 Trillion and we are poised for an economic collapse. It is critical we reassess the way we vote.

“The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”-George Washington

Cherish your vote by considering each candidate for who they are. What is their record? Who are their associates? Do they live by what they say?These kinds of questions have far more depth than simply asking, “What party do they belong to?”Anyone can join a party.

“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party… Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.”-Thomas Jefferson
